August 3, We left camp this morning about 8 am, heading still southeast, went around the Kluane Lake, which was beautiful turquoise colored, and still watching the Kluane mountain ranges. Got to Haines Junction and then headed south toward Haines, this stretch of the road was just beautiful, with mountain ranges every where and glaciers. Got to British Columbia and then back into Alaska, where we got our hour back. We had traveled about 236 miles today, stopped at the Oceanside Campground, right on the water front, for a few days, backed right up to the water, with a cruise ship out in the water. They are having dungeon crabs for dinner at the campground, you pay $12 and bring a side dish to share, so had to go to the store to buy something, making spaghetti corn to share. It was all very good food, sat by the fire in the middle of the campground with other people until after 11pm, great conversations.
August 4, Did two loads of laundry this morning, took a drive around town, came back to camp and then walked next door to the Lighthouse Restaurant for lunch, good food, I had fish and chips & Ken had buffalo chicken wrap. Sat outside most of the day watching the water, boats going in and out and the tide also going in and out. Saw different birds, eagles, seagulls, kingfisher, herons, pigeons, black birds, & ducks. Sat around the fire again tonight until 10:45 talked to a couple from Ohio, nice couple, they are traveling the same way we are heading to Skagway next. Watched another cruise ship coming out of Skagway at dusk with their lights on, really neat to see from a distance.
